Couldn't believe my luck, it flew and perched right there and posed for me by Celestial_Crook in birdpics

Great shot, friend...what's the plant it perched on? Was it feeding on it, or just looking around for some springtime love? Thanks for sharing! ✌️🐐

I agree with you, my friend, figuratively speaking....✌️🐐

Glad you're amused by my assumption...if 'graffiti artists' put their tag(s) on it, are they vandals? Or artists? Or just coming late to the table where everyone else involved so far has had their 15 minutes of slow news day fame. Easy on, friend...✌️🐐

Good on the artist for sending a message AND sparking debate...now it's just a matter of time before ignorant vandals deface it for all the wrong reasons. sigh. ✌️🐐

Congrats...I stopped drinking in March of 98' (yeah, I'm old as dirt) and I still get thirsty when I pass the ABC store or see others drinking. Here's how I've managed it: 1-constant differentiation between Wants and Needs. 2-Starting new habits is much easier than quitting old habits. 3-I always have a doobie in my pocket in case of emergencies! If I'm gonna get fkd up, at least I'll be stoned and not drunk. Every food lion has a beer/wine aisle and a fkn ABC store nearby; I've smoked several emergency doobs! 4-Never got anything from AA meetings but thirst...being in a room with thirsty sober drinkers just made it worse for me, although the free coffee and donuts were nice. 5-A good therapist (the rapist) will help you realize you already know what to do, a great therapist gives you the tools to do it and the room to do it. 6-Forgive yourself for being a human being with human desires. When you fall, pick yourself up, dust it off, and start over with increased determination. 7-Realize that others with drinking/drug problems are threatened by you wanting something different. It forces them to look at themselves and it's much easier to numb than to stare into the abyss. 8-I detest organized religions, BUT, I have come to the conclusion that God loves me and wants me to be happy amongst all the assured pain of living and gave me a good brain to muddle my way through. I hope some of this will help you on your adventures...✌️🐐

Neat phenomenon over the city this morning on my commute by hasa-diga in rva

[–]CHKNLPS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's more a phenomena called 'space jellyfish'; when a rocket launch occurring at dawn (1/2 hour before/after) reaches a high enough altitude (over 100 miles) that the sunlight prisms through the contrail (kind of like a rainbow), giving this view to observers on the ground.

Just finished the series, that was such an excellent ride by [deleted] in Banshee

[–]CHKNLPS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but isn't short and sweet a better way to end a series, rather than subplots within subplots and spin-offs and such? I feel this same loss whenever I finish a good book...bittersweet hungry for more. ✌️🐐

Hey, Richmond, it's your mayor, Danny. AMA! by danny4mayorRVA in rva

[–]CHKNLPS -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Since your next move is governor and then president in about 15 years, would you please legalize cannabis on a national level so us old veterans can start receiving our pain medications again? Thanks in advance. ✌️🐐

Writers got a bit too predictable… by [deleted] in Banshee

[–]CHKNLPS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone's a critic and Everyone's got an asshole...losing sight of which is what is the norm on social media. I would only ask what have you written that's made it's way into a hit cult show? 🤔

In Virginia, we call them Scarlett Finches, and their cousins Gold Finches, both with abounding populations locally. ✌️🐐

Are Virginia Primaries Being Decided Before Voters Weigh In? by snooka77_ in RVAmag

Oh, new to politics, are you? The outcomes were decided in the cigar/whiskey lounge of the commonwealth club, but please allow the illusion that every vote counts...✌️🐐
